''The fiery liquid splashed Raggs' footpaws. Stifling a cry of pain and sinking his fangs deeper into the leather handle of his dirk, he gripped the ship's railing and pulled himself up, knowing that falling down on his knees would only lead to more burns to his body. He felt a shadow looming over him. As he looked up, he was greeted by the sight of the galley as it rammed headlong into The Wasp. Raggs was sent flying through the air for several feet before the mast impeded his airborne flight. The ferret's neck lashed back and his head struck the mast forcefully.''

''When Raggs came to his senses, he was slumped against the mast. The dead bodies of his crew were strewn all around him, eyes wide open as they gazed in shocked terror at their leader. Among the slain creatures, a tall, imposing fox confidently strode directly towards the ferret captain, his sword drawn. Raggs leapt up, cutlass in paw and charged at the fox.'' "Rot in Hellgates, scum!"

''Suddenly, Raggs found himself in a dark, dank room. His paws and footpaws were bound, his arms and legs spread apart. The hissing of a whip broke the silence and Raggs felt a searing pain as the whip lashed across his back again and again. Raggs let out a cry of agony. Another beast came in with a cruel-looking device and forced the ferret's mouth open. He stuck the device into his mouth and clamped down on a tooth before ripping it from the captive's mouth. Raggs screamed. Creatures crowded around the hapless ferret and began beating out and lashing at him. A blade slashed across his left eye, blinding him. The pain felt as if it would never end. Raggs felt as if his body was being torn in half. His mind was breaking.''

''Raggs' eye shot open. The smell of burning fur and flesh entered his nostrils and he was greeted by the sound of timbers crackling as flames ate away at them and creatures screaming in anguish. His head swimming and his body aching all over, Raggs slowly pulled himself up to his tender footpaws and began gingerly walking around the burning remnants of The Wasp in search for survivors.''
